The punishment is very severe.
Li Shimin's attempt to send Pei to the distant city of Jiao Prefecture (present-day northern Vietnam) was actually more uncomfortable than death.
In the ancient region, once out of Nanling, there was basically no hope of returning to the Central Plains for life, not to mention, Jiaozhou was more than a thousand miles away from Nanling.
Perhaps, the courtiers also felt that the punishment was too severe this time, and after thinking about it again, Li Shimin finally changed his mind.
He exiled Pei to Jingzhou, although it was also a remote and barren land, at least it was still somewhat popular.
The political struggle is brutal, and Pifu is innocent and guilty.
Even though Pei Yu was far away in the Exiled Land, he was still stared at by countless pairs of eyes in the middle of the dynasty.
The house leak coincided with overnight rain.
Pei Yu was unlucky, he encountered a local mountain and Qiang riot, and it was rumored in the dynasty that Pei Yu was caught by them and also participated in their rebellion.
This kind of crime, if it needs to be dealt with, according to custom, can be used politically to directly kill Pei.
But Li Shimin has a strong enough heart and heart, and his courage and belly are obviously far more than the vast majority of emperors, or in other words, he even thinks that Pei Yu is a drowning dog that does not need to be beaten.
Li Shimin is not a conspirator, he has the demeanor that the son of the Great Tang Dynasty should have.
Li Shimin said to the courtiers like a candle: "The mainland family has the grace of life in (Pei), but it will not be otherwise." ”
Of course, Pei Yu could not rebel far away in the remote wilderness, that was not in line with common sense, let alone has practical significance, even if he was unkind and virtuous, it would not be so.
Facts have proved that Li Shimin does have the knowledge of people and governors.
Soon, the news that Pei Yu led his family servants to suppress the rebellion reached Jingshi.
Everyone is happy.
Li Shimin may have wanted to leave a warm color for this era, and he issued an edict to Pei Ying to return to Chang'an.
There are already too many stories, enough of them; The goal has been achieved, and it is enough.
Then come back, anyway, the world is already calm.
But Pei was too old to be used, and he could not withstand the long journey and died on the way back to the north.
Perhaps on those days and nights on the way back, Pei Ying looked up at the starry sky, and his heart was inevitably depressed, there was a big dream in the world, and the world was cold several times.
The night sky in the north seems clearer than ever.
He thought of his old friend Li Yuan, and he also missed those days of poetry and wine, drunken dreams and death, and all-night days, what kind of happiness and happiness it was.
At this time, Li Yuan may also think of his old fellow.
Pei Yu sighed in his heart, people have no regrets in their lives so far, although the end is not perfect, but too perfect life, can not really exist, or on the contrary, it is also a defect.
Pei Yu did not resent, he returned with peace of mind, and he was also at ease on the road.
An era is coming to an end.
As a chain reaction to bring down Pei Yu, Li Yuan finally began to move his nest.
In the first month of the third year of Zhenguan, Pei left the dynasty.
In April of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Yuan moved out of the Taiji Palace.
This palace, which symbolizes imperial power and zhengshuo, will change owners from today onwards.
Li Yuan moved to Hongyi Palace, which turned out to be a palace he built specifically for Li Shimin, not spacious, of course, the shape was far worse than the palace, but for a lost and idle emperor, it was no longer possible to ask too much.
Hongyi Palace welcomed its new owner and also ushered in its new name, called Da'an Palace.
Safe and quiet is for Daan.
In the years that followed, Li Yuanchen lived in Da'an Palace and was actually placed under house arrest.
In the days of Da'an Palace, Li Yuan rarely went out.
Li Yuan, who is bored at home, difficult to dispose of lonely time, has no pursuit, and can only be happy, let go of his heart, calm down, and begin to enjoy life.
Li Yuan spent a boring, but drunken and dreamy old age, he gave Li Shimin many generations of the same, but the age difference was huge, the difference in age was tens of years old.
And Li Shimin seems to have gradually forgotten that he also has a father living in Da'an Palace, of course, the more important reason is that he does not want or want to see father and son, which is not a very pleasant experience.
Those pasts that neither side can let go of are like a knife that has long been pierced into the chests of both sides.
Every time he escaped the summer, Li Shimin went to Jiucheng Palace (present-day Baoji, Shaanxi) alone, leaving Li Yuan in Da'an Palace in Chang'an.
This is not a very timely approach, even the imperial history can not look at it.
Ma Zhou, this Li Shimin personally discovered that he was promoted to a close minister in the cold and cold, risked offending Li Shimin's anti-scale, and went on a bad way.
He advised with concern: "The car driving this trip was originally to escape the summer, but the emperor still stayed in the hot place, and His Majesty chased himself from the cool place, the way of gentle and clean, and the courtiers were not safe." ”
Ma Zhou also said that the scale of the Da'an Palace where Li Yuan lived should be increased to match Li Yuan's identity as emperor.
However, although Li Shimin was not angry, he only listened to half and did not listen to half, and he rewarded Ma Zhou's advice, but did not follow it.
For several years in a row, Li Yuan could only live in Da'an Palace.
Or felt that Li Yuan had a physical illness, time was running out, and after many consultations under his teeth, Li Shimin finally invited Li Yuan to go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer.
But Li Yuan resolutely refused to go.
Because the predecessor of Jiucheng Palace is the Renshou Palace of the Sui Dynasty, which is where Yang Jian died, and Yang Guang was there, he became a sinner who killed his father and left behind for eternity.
Now, Li Shimin is also a sinner who killed his brother and slaughtered his brother, and the history is so similar, he is finally unwilling to touch this mold.
Li Shimin also felt the same reason, and was so happy that out of sight is clean.
Forced by the constant pressure of the courtiers, and his own unwillingness to leave a crime of unfilial piety on the Qingshi History, he was ready to build another summer palace for Li Yuan.
But the unrestrained indulgence in his later years, coupled with the bitterness of depression in his heart, destroyed Li Yuan's body, and his time was up.
Li Yuan will finish his life in peace.
In the last years of his life, Li Yuan and Li Shimin reached a certain degree of reconciliation.
In Li Yuan's heart, although Li Shimin is an unfilial son, he may be the most suitable heir and helmsman of this empire.
He insisted on standing up for the crown prince Li Jiancheng back then, and he didn't do prevention earlier, the change of the Xuanwu Gate, fair and allowed, the time is also the situation, the fate is also lucky, I have to be so, what to say.
In December of the seventh year of Zhenguan, after a hunt, Li Shimin took Li Yuan to visit the former place of the Weiyang Palace of the Han Dynasty.
In this land full of heroes and legends, Li Yuan seemed to regain the spring of life, and he carefully observed Li Shimin's entourage with great interest.
There were all the worlds and eight domains, thousands of miles away, countless races and once glorious lords of enemy countries, and now they all stood respectfully on the side.
Li Shimin was full of confidence, this is the power of the Heavenly Khan, and it is also the style of the former Heavenly Policy General, Li Yuan nodded secretly in his heart.
He was interested in it together, and he wanted to have fun together.
Li Yuan ordered the Turkic Jieli Khan to dance, and the music and dance of the steppe warriors were full of exotic style and warm atmosphere.
But without poetry, there is no fun.
Li Yuan was in the team again, and saw Feng Zhidai, the honorable elder of Nanban, although he was in a barbaric place, he had admired the culture of the Central Plains for a long time and chanted a good poem.
Li Yuan asked Feng Zhidai to chant a poem with the table, which is really peaceful in the world and a thriving style.
Elder Li Yuan was relieved and laughed happily and said: "The Huyue family has never been there since ancient times!" ”
Li Shimin seized this opportunity, and he said respectfully in front of all the ministers, in front of the whole world, and in front of Li Yuan: "Today, the four ministers are all taught by His Majesty, and they are beyond the reach of the ministers. Emperor Gaozu of the former Han Dynasty also bought wine from Emperor Taishang to this palace, arrogantly arrogant, and the ministers did not take it. ”
When Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, became emperor, he was quite worried that his father (who was named Emperor Taishang by Liu Bang) could not look at him.
Liu Bang uttered a famous sentence.
"Lord Shi (father) is often a scoundrel (Liu Bang) who can't govern the industry, not as good as Zhongli, who is the same as Zhongli today?"
Of course, this is to ridicule the emperor in person, he has no vision and does not recognize his true dragon body.
Li Shimin used this allusion at this time to clearly tell Li Yuan that he was also the emperor, he was not Liu Bang, and he did not want to be Liu Bang, he was still the former Erlang in Li Yuan's heart.
Although Erlang's era is long gone, what do you want if you have a child?
Li Yuan smiled and smiled.
Seeing their father and son in harmony, the group of ministers shouted "Long live, long live" in unison, and the atmosphere reached a climax in an instant.
This "Long live" voice resounded all over the earth and floated above the Weiyang Palace for a long time, this long live is the name of Li Shimin, but also the name of Li Yuan, and Li Yuan has not heard this title for a very long time.
That's it, that's it.
In May of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Yuan, the founder of the Great Tang, quietly completed his life in Da'an Palace.
Because of Li Shimin's personal intervention, many of Li Yuan's true deeds have long been lost in the years, or hidden in a corner, shimmering like stars.
Wanting to fully understand Li Yuan's life has become an impossible task.
He created a dynasty, and he also lost one.
His joy and anger, sorrow and sorrow, merit and deeds, in the long river of history, covered with a hazy veil, clouds obscured by fog, faintly looming.
When we pick up the magnifying glass and want to carefully search the depths of his heart, the most subtle, the softest and delicate, we will say hello to him.
Hello, Li Yuan.
Hello, Li Tang Dynasty.
An era is over, and now the master of this era, his name is Li Shimin.
Goodbye, Li Yuan.
Hello, Li Shimin.
